Cathkin Park, Third
Lanark FC
Glasgow

Cathkin Park,
the former home of Third Lanark,
Glasgow and former Scottish Cup Final
& Scotland International venue,
saw its last game in 1967, shortly
before Third Lanark were wound
up in the courts. Glasgow's park
department took over Cathkin park and
developed it into a open access
municipal park. Large sections of the
ground are still preserved today,
including banks of terracing, barriers
and parts of the perimeter wall. Third
Lanark may have gone, but at least the
ground now benefits the community and
for the football grounds enthusiast it
is a great place to visit.

East Terrace

The ground was
originally Queens Park Ground and
staged its first league game in 1884.
The ground then was called Hampden
Park and Queens Park played there

of Hampden Park in 1903. When Third
Lanark took over the ground in 1903,
they renamed it Cathkin
Park. Whilst known as Hampden Park in
staged a number of Scottish Cup Finals
and even Scotland played England there
in 1894.
